The results of my madness are in......
POC Las Vegas Speedway Race and Time Trial results from Sunday. The field consisted of 996 RSR's, 997 Cups, 996 Cups, GT1 Class, GT2 Class and others. 2 of the drivers competed at Daytona this year. So in other words it was a tough field. I only qualified 10th as it started to down pour rain as my 2 lap qualifying session started. The track dried by the time our race began so I was all fired up to race. I started in 10th on the outside of the long straight before the banked left hander. When the flag dropped I passed 3 cars before we reached the bank. I slotted in behind a 997 Cup and worked my way to the front of the field. Passing Cups on the straight was so easy I was smiling ear to ear. I was rounding the bank at 7800 RPM at 156 MPH.
It took me a while to get past the second place car as he is a very good driver and last years Cup Champion. I am sure if I would have qualified better, I could have won the race. I almost lapped my 2nd place class competitor. Props to Loren Beggs at 911 Design for building an incredible car!

I would consider myself sane for having dumped equal to the value of my 996Turbo
into my 996 turbo to build a highly uncompetitive but very fun car to drive.
Congrats on a spectacular project!!
